MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

The complimentary testimonial
concert to Master VIM. Cook, at
the Congregational church last
Wednesday evening, was in ey-
cry particular asuccess. The very
best citizens turned out as an ev-
ldence of their appreciation for
the young man. Mr.. Cook was
introduced to the audience by
Recorder j. NJ. Trotter, who said
that it was not customary to select
one particular artist and introduce
him, but there were circumstances
connected with Mr.. Cook, that
made it necessary to make the
discrimination. Mr.. Cook was the
great centre of attraction and his
executions on the violin were ex-
cellent with but a few exceptions.
The young man has a bright fu-
ture before him, and should he
take up his studies at Berlin the
BEE bespeaks for him success. The
organ solo by Prot. BischOff, was
we'll received. The solo by Mrs.
Lena Mckinney, $50 Gaily So
Brightly" was not rendered with
that sweetness aud force az on
former occasions. The Oapheus
Glee club under the leadership OF
Prof. j. t. Layton won new lau-
rels last Wednesday evening.
The renditions by this club were
surpr sing which assured the audit
ence that the members were i'm
tproving. Mrs. Sallie Waring, in
Lieti Liquor lies Huguenots)
carried the house by storm. Mrs.
Waring is a rising vocalist. She
sings with ease force and SWEET
ness. Miss Martina Bruce, who
but few months made her debut
before the social circle, is taking
the place of the old vocal talent
and in a short time she will be q
favorite prima duna,
| Miss Alice Strange was the ac-
companist, and as usual she pre-
sided with dignity and grace.
| The John Wesley church has
been crowded to Its utmost capac-
ity for three evenings. The occas-
ion was prize concert under
the direction of Mr.. A. Lincoln
Meyers. The first and third ev-
enings were particularly for the
young children. The second night
the program was made up of some
of the popular local vocalists. The
opening chorus on the second ev-
ening was conducted by Mr.. Ii. q.
Turley, one Of the most popular
young vocalist in this city. The
duett, Hope Beyond, was sung by
| Miss Arnita Joy and A. j. Mey-
ers. The rendition of this piece
was good. Mr.. Meyers isquite q
vocalist, and his stately appear
ance and modesty greatly adds to
his singing. Mr.. A J Halls, Irene
good night, was enthusiastically
applauded. The solo and chorns
lead hy Mr.. Meyers, Il am King
| O'er Land and Sea-" was sung
with much sweetness The Old
Turn Key, by MIR. Turley, a solo,
was rendered well. On the even
ing these vccalists appeared it
was impossible to get standing
room in the church. The reeita-
ton by Miss Jennie Chichester,
was one of the features of the
last evening. This lady has q
sweet voice and q fine delivery.
The success of the concert is due

The Library Building.

The Senate of the United States would
do wcll to look carefully after the eXpeni-
tures Of large amount Of the peoples
money which Is being made within sight OF
the Senate chamber. We mean, OF course
In the construction OF the library building.
The BUILDING should have been cou-
stTuctCd years ago, but 1t was not, and it
now deyolvcs upon the Senate to prevent
the money appropriated from being wasted
or diverted improperly into the pockets Of
favoiites or for political purposes.
The commission Ia charge Of the work Is
composed Of the Secretary OF the Interior,
The librarian OF Congress, and the architect
OF the capitol. The Secretary OF the In
terror has more work 10 his ollce than 1t /,
possible for one man TO do. The librarian
Of Congress is very proper man to con-
suit as to the arrangement OF the interior Of
the building when IL is completed, but, by
education and habit of thought, totally un-
used to the business assigned to him as TO
this work. So that, as u matter OF fact, an,
other commission should be constituted,
alone in charge. No one doubts his com
potency for the work. but 1t is too much
for one burdened with the other duties he
has TO perform.
There are "jobs" already developing as
to the construction Of the building, one OF
them being the earnest effort made to bring
the stone for the work from Indiana, trans.
porting 1t eight hundred miles by rail-
when as good or better material can be

THERE Is always to be seen iar'awIy,
distrtssful look upon the face OF native
Kentuckian when he is by any circums: ,uc-
compelled to be away from the country Of
handsome girls, fast horses, b)urbol
whisky, and blue grass. Tls fact can
verified any day now by walking on Ia
avenue and meeting a Kentucky me mblr OF
Congress with look In his eyes as II he
were trying to penetrate with his gliuc1s
the distance between the capital aud the
blue grass country. Those who have
noticed this peculiarlty OF Kentuckians
hive supposed that it was caused by
thoughts OF the handsome girls, the fast
horses, the pure bourbon, or the blue
grass, which remain, "though lost to sight,
to memory DEAR" and that memory was
calling up each In Its turn, cluslng the re-
gfetiul and wistful look. But this Is a
mistake; 1t is because the Kentuckians have
lost their usual amusemcnts. Lifs Is dull
TO them away from the lively scenes of the
Kentucky home-the amusements which
,nliven his days and make his nights joyous.

A PiCaYune Business,

Postmaster General Villas hls eirnsl l.-
served distinction for several OF his oil ial
acts. The offensive partisan" letter sdlel
a phrase to the language that will probably
outlive all memory of Villas himself. Tnis
was the first Of the acts OF the P. NJ. G. to
make him notorious IL not famous.
The next act of Mr.. Villas that dist.n-
guishes him from the common herd was his
refusal to carry into effect plain and III an
datory law In regard to the foreign mail
service, that was intended, and it was
clearly so expressed by the IN akers OF the
law, to aid in rebuilding the American mer-
chant marine and reviving the American car
rying trade. Had the Congress of the United
States not been in political sympathy with
Mr.. Villas, he would have been impeached
for his action IN this matter.
Mr.. Villas has appeared in another role
and proves himself to be as versatile as a
lightning change artist In varieties theater.
He is now straining at gnat In the con
structlon of law, when he swallowed a
camel in refusing to obey one.
A bookseller or publisher who puts the
word personal" or strange device on the
wrapper in which a book Is forwarded
through the malls, is compelled to pay let
ter postage on the book. There Is really NO
justification In law or custom for this
act, and the newspapers OF the country
should make 1t exceedingly ho. Tor Mr..
Villas.
Certain things are designated as constitu-
ting first, second, third, AMI foarth class
mail matter; the meaning aud intent OF the
law Is plain, but Mr.. Villas desiring to die
tinguish himself strains the law to enable
him TO charge few cents m IRE pDstags
His methods remind us Of al old song OF
gone by years which says "P.cayune Bat.
er's come TO town"
